Archie Rice, the seedy vaudevillian

fine a performance as Olivier has ever given.

glory. This satire on illusions vs. reality gives
Fellini a chance to produce one of his most

Good political films are rare in America,
particularly those dealing with the
McCarthy era. Point of Order, a
documentary about the Army-McCarthy
trials, is the only film I know of that deals in
an intelligent manner with the man and his
reign of terror. Now we have The Front,
which is written by, directed by and co-stars
men who were blacklisted in the 1950s
because of their "Communist sympathies."
With these people involved, who would have
guessed it would turn out to be the
simpleminded, trivial film it is?

The Carolina Dancers, the performing dance company of UNC, will present an
evening of modern dance at 8:17 tonight and Saturday in the Great Hall.
The program, entitled The Late Great Hall Concert will feature new works
choreographed by UNC dance faculty members Diane Eilber and Carol
Richards and guest artist Liz Rogers. Their three pieces, Traces, Staggering to
Canterbury and River Rag, incorporate elements of seriousness, humor, lyricism
and politics.
The Carolina Dancers, formerly known as the University Dance Theatre,
consists of 26 performers who are dance faculty members, UNC students from
the modern dance and ballet classes offered at UNC and area residents.
Diane Eilber, one of the choreographers, said that The Late Great Hall
Concert is the result of a new course, " Repertory , the department of physical
education offers. In the course, students learn the various aspects of producing a
dance program. Most of the dancers involved in the concert this weekend are
presently enrolled in the course.
Eilber said that the dancers have been spending five to six hours a week
rehearsing for the program, in addition to attending their classes.
The dance department at Chapel Hill, a part of the the physical education
department, has grown considerably within the past few years. UNC now has two
full-time faculty members in dance.

Surely the problem isn't just lack of talent,
no matter how much in evidence that is. I
suspect that Martin Ritt, the director, and
Walter Benstein, the writer did not want to
turn this film into a self-fighteous, bitter
tirade against those who persecuted them.
That's admirable enough, but the two have
gone too far in the other direction. Instead of
providing us with the excitement of two men
trying to work out and come to terms with
their feelings about the era in the making of
this film, Ritt and Bernstein cop out totally
and deal in generalities and wish-fulfillment.
Though this film is explicitly about the effect
of the blacklist on the television world, it
gives no more insight into the subject than a
tear-jerker romance like The Way We Were,
does about politics.
The idea behind the film is a good one.
Woody Allen, in a semi-dramatic role, plays
Howard Prince, a debt-ridden bar cashier
and part-time bookie who is approached by a
friend (Michael Murphy) who is a
blacklisted TV writer. Murphy asks Howard
to front for him, or, in other words, put his
name on Murphy's scripts. The plan works,
and Howard zooms to fame, fortune and
love with a female studio executive (Andrea
Marcovicci).
Until now the film works half-decently,
particularly during more comic sequences.
Woody Allen is a naturally funny guy and
adds the light touch the film badly needs. He

slips very easily into the role of the
opportunist Howard, and though he plays it
very similarly to the roles he has in his
comedies, there is more sensitivity and no
bungling here. Howard is interested in his
"own welfare, but his generosity and
humanity are very evident. It's a shame that
the film, with Allen as its star doesn't make
much of the comic potential of the story.
Instead it turns into a cliched, self
congratulatory morality tale.
But this time writer Bernstein doesn't hold
back and treat his subject with respect. Thus
a blacklisted comic named Hecky Brown
(Zero Mostel) is forced by a tight-lipped
investigator (Remak Ramsey) to spy on
Howard to get off the.list. This investigator is
portrayed so constantly intolerant,
unsympathetic and nasty that he isn't human
at all. He's like a modern version of those
Basil Rathbone villians of the 30s. Even'
after doing the dirty work for the man,
Hecky can't get a good entertainment job; so
Bernstein opts for the tackiest cop-out there -is:
Hecky kills himself. It's all so corny and
predictable that you can't be moved by it.
Even worse, the studio girl suddenly gets
her principles back and quits her job, to
publish an anti-blacklist pamphlet. She tries,
to get Howard to write it, but in his self
interest, he refuses. "Where are your
principles?" she screams and begins a speech
that makes you wonder why she wants

Howard's help in writing. She doesn't need
him; she already sounds like a pamphlet. All
she needs is a tape ' recorder. Andrea
Marcovicci's performance as the girl is
mostly poor, but it's not all her fault. She's
too inexperienced to deal with a role that is
turned into the author's sounding board.
There's some sincerity in her work, but the
lines are so awful that her performance goes
flat.
Most of the other actors are served up the
same way. Zero Mostel is called on to do a
cross between Milton Berle and Henny
. Youngman, but his only good scenes involve
his having to work at a hotel for practically
nothing and the angry humiliation resulting
from it. Mostel is really too strong a presence
for the screen; he comes on with too much
force and bravado. It's easy to see why he's
successful on the stage. Michael Murphy
does very well as the blacklisted writer,
which is saying quite a bit, since the role is
written just as a plot mechanism.
But Woody Allen truly shines. Without
him, the film would be practically worthless,
and it isn't much as it is. He manages to pull
off Howard's regaining of his principles with
style. Though the phony, smart-alecky
ending weighs him down, he's still far above
the material. It's easy to see why the ad
campaign was changed to capitalize on this
being a Woody Allen movie; after seeing it,
you shudder to think what the film would
have-been like without him.
